I’ve been down this rabbit hole too! For TikTok, I’ve found that using a mix of Puppeteer and stealth plugins helps avoid detection. AWS EC2 is great, but make sure to use spot instances to save $$$.
For Instagram, I’ve been using Instagram-private-api (Node.js). It’s a bit tricky to set up, but once you get it running, it’s solid.
Pro tip: Use AWS CloudWatch to monitor your scraping scripts. It’s saved me from a few bans when my scripts went rogue.
